UPDATE FOR CUBA RELEASE ISSUES During the anticipated re-opening of Cuba there were unexpected issues that arose regarding the empty robbing boards for our players. The Neo Imperium has had Cuba in their evil clutches for too long. But don't worry, we're working on the robbing boards and other related issues and will have an release that will go out tonight that will get you into that action. Thank you for all of your early excitement, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve these issues for you! The Mafia Wars Team |
With the Neo-Imperium distracted by their criminal activities in other parts of the world, your chance has come to sneak back into Cuba. Your job progress will start for where you left off, but you’ll find a new tier of job mastery and powerful new loot. Be sure to hurry though, the Neo-Imperium won’t be fooled for long. Grab what you can while you can, because this temporary visa won’t last forever.
Cuba Event Developer Explanation:
Due to player request, we will be re-opening Cuba temporarily for 2 weeks. Many players are disappointed that they no longer have access to Cuba job progress and properties, so we wanted to attempt a temporary re-opening through a limited time event to see how players enjoy it.
During this time users will have access to Cuba with new added loot drops. Their job progress will be the same as when they left it. Additionally, for those players who already finished Cuba, we are releasing a Ruby tier of Job Mastery. We are very aware of the dedication players have put into finishing Cuba, so we wanted to make sure everyone has something to tackle in the re-opening, along with high end loot drops and new mastery items for completing Ruby Tiers.
We would really like to hear your feedback on this event, the Cuba shutdown event, and future city releases and events. We strive to make sure the new city content we release is the best for our players that it can be! Thanks everyone – and good luck dealing with the Neo-Imperium!
popup, it says "Cuba/Moscow Is Closing"..
Hi,
Though moscow is supposed to be on lockdown, I can still enter and do stuff. I have even declared a war. You can even see the "Exiled No More" mission in the background. Just wanted to let you know about the glitch.
Keep up the good work!!Thanks for the screenshot, Dominic!
Love,
Dominic C.

At this moment the Zynga Support Team does not have a workaround to this particular however a fix to this problem will be introduced shortly. Thank you for your understanding while this problem is addressed.
Seasons change, and in March, Mafia Wars will change in an unprecedented way.
Q: Cuba is closing, why?
A: We have some major things coming up in March, and part of the storyline involves the closing down of Cuba. 'A major disruption is about to happen. A powerful, new criminal organization is wreaking havoc on the current world order. This has caused an uprising in Cuba where all Mafia bosses will be deported. It will soon be revealed where and why this new criminal organization, the Neo-Imperium, is disrupting Cuba.'
Q: What do you mean closing?
A: Cuba will no longer be accessible. It will be grayed out on the travel menu and any attempts to get to Cuba will be stopped with a popup. You will not be able to vault or revault Cuba collections. You will not be able to collect from Cuba properties or access the Cuba bank. You will not be able to complete Cuba achievements. You will not be able to fight or rob in Cuba.
Q: When will this happen?
A: Cuba will be closing on March 3rd.
Q: Is this permanent?
A: Cuba will be closed for the foreseeable future.
Q: When does Crisis in Cuba start/end?
A: This event starts late Wednesday night, February 23rd. As with all events, the release will be gradual to ensure stability. (Not all players will have access initially)
Q: What if I have finished Cuba already?
A: In order to complete Cuba in Crisis mission, you will need to loot Prop 4's. This will only drop in jobs and fights (but not robs) in Cuba. Completing the mission will award you with the Special Mastery Item, an Embargo Net that will result in an additional 10% cash in
.
Q: What if I haven't finished Cuba already?
A: In addition to the Prop 4's, you will receive 5x Mastery on unmastered jobs. You might also want to ask for Politico Corruptos from your friends. Mastered jobs reward you with a skill point.
In addition, there are Mastery Items for mastering each tier (El Rey Roadster, Guerilla Commando, Avispa Machine Gun, Che's Beret, Cocodrilo, and Cazador Assault Rifle) If you haven't vaulted the Cuba collections, each of them offer a permanent addition to your skill.
*Rum Drinks Collection initial vault = + 8 Energy
*Tropical Fruits Collection initial vault = +3 Stamina
*Entertainers Collection initial vault = +10 Health
*Tropical Fish Collection initial vault = +5 Attack
*Beards Collection initial vault = +7 Defense
There are also Cuba achievements that offer a skill point for completion.
Q: What if I don't finish Cuba in time?
A: Your Cuba progress will be frozen.
Q: I like fighting in Cuba!
A: The Cuba version of fighting will also be closed for the foreseeable future.
Customer Support is not authorized to offer any compensation to players who do not complete Cuba before it closes. If you have any feedback or opinions about this event, please visit - http://getsatisfaction.com/mafia_wars/
